Shibani penned, 'Dear Dad, Meeting you in the ICU after your heart flatlined is a jolt and a wound so raw and gaping, it might take me an entire lifetime, if not more, to get over. Your face was still warm. I kissed your forehead, and while I know you were never fond of me touching your hair, I ran my fingers through it and smelled it one last time so that I could seal that memory because I fear that time's brutal hand will have me forget how you felt."

Thug Life Box Office Day 2: Kamal Haasan's Film Witnesses Drop, Earns Rs 23 Crore
Last Updated: Thug Life, the Mani Ratnam-Kamal Haasan film, struggles at the box office with a 55% drop on Day 2, earning Rs 23 crore in two days. Looks like Thug Life is having a bit of a bumpy ride at the box office! The much-awaited reunion between Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan, 37 years in the making, had fans excited. But sadly, the film hasn't quite lived up to the massive hype yet. Thug Life is facing a tough battle at the box office, especially after the sharp dip it took on its second day. After a decent start on Day 1, the action-packed drama hit a speed bump on Friday, Day 2 of its release. Collections took a noticeable dip, with the film bringing in around Rs 23 crore. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 7.50 crore across all languages on Friday, marking a steep 55 per cent drop from its Day 1 earnings of Rs 15.50 crore. With this, the film's total collection in India over two days stands at Rs 23 crore. What's adding to the pressure is the release of Housefull 5. Akshay Kumar's latest comedy dropped on the same day and matched Thug Life's two-day total, Rs 23 crore, in just one day. The clash proved especially damaging in the Hindi belt, where Thug Life was promoted heavily as a pan-India film. Unfortunately, it opened to a disappointing Rs 65 lakh in Hindi markets, and early estimates suggest that Friday's Hindi collection may be as low as Rs 25–30 lakh. With such numbers, trade analysts believe the film may find it difficult to even cross Rs 5 crore in Hindi during its theatrical run. But it's not just the Hindi version that's struggling as Thug Life isn't exactly lighting up the box office in Tamil either. The film's Rs 23 crore two-day total falls way short when compared to Kamal Haasan's previous hits. Remember Vikram? That Lokesh Kanagaraj blockbuster stormed into theatres in 2022 and raked in a massive Rs 60 crore in just two days. Even Indian 2, which didn't really impress critics or audiences last year, still managed a healthier Rs 44 crore over the same period. So yeah, Thug Life has some serious catching up to do. And to make things worse, the film didn't release in Karnataka at all, reportedly due to backlash over Kamal Haasan's controversial remark about the Kannada language. That definitely didn't help its numbers. Thug Life stars a fantastic ensemble including Trisha, Silambarasan, Joju George, Ashok Selvan, Nasser, Abhirami, and more. The music is composed by the legendary AR Rahman, with stunning visuals captured by cinematographer Ravi K Chandran. The movie's editing is handled by A Sreekar Prasad. First Published:

Kamal Haasan's Thug Life Sees A Drop On Day 2, Mints Rs 7.5 Crore At Box Office

The film opened to mixed responses from fans and critics. While many praised its impressive cinematography and visually striking presentation, others were disappointed with the predictable storyline and sluggish screenplay. Talking about its box office collection, the film witnessed a huge drop on its day 2. According to the early estimates by industry tracker it minted around Rs 7.5 crore across all languages in India. The second day saw a major drop in the numbers as the film performed decently on its first day at the box office and collected a whopping Rs 15.50 crore. This implies the film suffered a loss of more than 55 per cent. With this, the two-day box office collection of the movie stands at Rs 23 crore nett in India.

Released in multiple languages, the film brought together a powerhouse cast featuring Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan TR, Trisha Krishnan, Joju George, Ali Fazal, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sanya Malhotra, Nassar and Rohit Saraf, among others in pivotal roles. This film marked a significant collaboration between Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan after 38 years since their iconic film Nayakan (1987). The music of the film is composed by the legendary AR Rahman, marking his third collaboration with the actor and 19th with the renowned filmmaker. Ravi K Chandran handled the cinematography, and the editing work was managed by A Sreekar Prasad, ensuring a high-quality visual and auditory experience. Set against the backdrop of a gritty underworld, the film explores the themes of power, betrayal and redemption. It is packed with atmospheric storytelling, intense performances and a strong emotional core. After its theatrical release, the makers have already announced that the film will be made available on Netflix. While some reports claim that Thug Life will stream on the streaming giant from August 7, an official confirmation regarding the date is still awaited. According to reports, Netflix has purchased the digital rights of the film for Rs 149.7 crore. First Published:
